Very, very good. Tom, our guide, was excellent and very well informed. I recommend this trip.
This was the only tour we took that we were on a big white bus - all the other tours were vans. 25 people on this tour. Scott was our guide- very pleasant, and somewhat knowledgeble of the area. Stopped at Vista House, and the different falls along the way- all beautiful, a must see! Went into Hood Valley River - a small coastal town - for lunch on our own. Found a cute diner - great food and very pleasant people. Had time to walk around - you could even do wine tasting ! Headed to Mount Hood and Timberland Hotel. Still had snow on the mountain - had snowboarding classes in the summer ! Beautiful . The hotel was extremely unique- outside was where they filmed The Shining. Beautiful center fireplace, lots of ornate wood and wrought iron. Beautiful views from every room. Then we stopped at a local fruit stand for ice cream / and fruit! That was fun . Overall it was a great trip- highly recommend it.
Very organised day, with great local and geographical information about all thing Mount St Helens provided by guide. Great way to get out of Portland and further afield to see the awesome sights on nature. Hassle free and fills your whole day with a memorable experience.
